#Welcome to the SpectraFox Wiki!

This wiki is the manual for the scanning probe microscopy (SPM)
and spectroscopy (SPS) data analysis and management tool SpectraFox.

SpectraFox is a free, manufacturer independent open source software.
Its aim is to accompany the researcher during data acquisition as a data management tool, and to simplify the evaluation afterwards.
It bundles many often needed data treatment procedures, which can be applied in parallel to a batch of measurement data.
SpectraFox contains a powerful non-linear fit engine, which allows to lock parameters together,
and supports coupled fits between two independent data sets.
The visualization tools range from simple one- and two-dimensional plots of spectroscopy data and topography images
to complex spectral intensity maps, which help the sophisticated researcher to discover more details in his or her data.

This manual will start with a short introduction of how to install and launch SpectraFox.
Afterwards each window will have its own short tutorial.
This will cover the basic functionalities, and teach you how to use them.
Also the physical backgrounds of important features will be sketched briefly.
